    It’s pretty common in Canada to be able to order fries with sour cream, green onion, tomatoes, and cheese/queso. (It’s the best thing on taco bells menu and they don’t even have it state-side)

    That being said fries are way greasier than a baked potato, and they are better suited to more acidic condiments (ketchup, malt vinegar, etc)

    A chain near me called chicken shack serves home style fries coated in garlic butter and I prefer them over standard french fries

      That’s what I was thinking. I’ve been eating sour cream and fries since I was in high school working in fast food.

      To tell you the true get yourself a plain cheeseburger and put sour cream on that. It is dope. I figured that out making messy ass chili cheeseburgers and I mixed in sour cream. It wasn’t long before I figured out meat, cheese, and sour cream go very well together.

    I think the oil they’re deep fried in takes the place of the butter. As for sour cream, I’m not a fan in general so I couldn’t tell you.

        We’re used to white vinegar up here. First time I asked for vinegar in the US and got this malt thingy I was very disappointed lol

            It’s good, both are available with fish and chips here. Malt vinegar is definitely superior though.

    When I make steak fries at home, I’ll sometimes mix sour cream and hot sauce for a dip.

    I know a lot of people who like to dip French fries in Ranch dressing, which is like sour cream with extra steps.

    I find poutine to be the superior presentation of the fry as a meal in its own right.

    Also, shoutout to lomo saltado, because that shit slaps pretty hard too.

    It is, I’m more surprised that you don’t…

    Also on the list, any wildcard + Fries.

    • Carne Asada Fries

    • Brisket Fries

    • Fish and Chips (malt vinegar fries with a side of fried fish)

    • Gyro Fries

    • Poutine (Gravy and cheese curds on fries)

    • Hashbrown Fries (Fries with whatever you usually put in hashbrowns)

    • Sausage Gravy Fries

    • Kimchi Fries (although if the Kimchi “pancake” is on offer, get that)

    The list goes on. It’s almost easier to list things you wouldn’t want fries with and even then I’m sure some maniac would order fries under Sashimi.

    You can. Although they’re not typically french fries, they are generally thicker cut so you have somewhere to actually put your condiments.

    In typical fast food probably cost. Sit down restaurants, I bet they would give it to you if you asked. At home, no one is there to stop you!
